Alternative Break Experiences (ABE) are learning opportunities that immerse ECU community members in diverse environments that address a variety of important issues through service, reflection, the exchange of ideas, and more. ABE participants have the opportunity to meet, fellowship, and develop relationships with community leaders, ECU staff members, and fellow Pirates while learning, serving, and growing. Participants will be able to explore and enjoy fun activities at their host-site and within the local community. Alternative Break Experiences (ABE) challenge all participants to critically reflect upon their role and ability to make lasting social change in our local, regional, and global community.
